D16 has been invited to perform at a charity concert (for a big international political organization) in town.
Will she be singing her own songs? Is/was she getting nervous before the gig?

S15 has his learner's permit now and is determined to learn the stick shift that his siblings haven't mastered.
I once heard a good reason for teaching kids to drive a stick. Someday it might be the only transportation available when they're the only sober driver around. I have a rental car the last couple days, an automatic, and it is driving me crazy (like that's difficult!) when the clutch isn't where I want it, I have to use the brake every time I want to slow down, etc.

S is a big help, the computer work is right up his alley, and they really needed some temporary help in this arena.
Getting work experience in an office for the ol' resume is a good idea, if there's any chance he'll want to do work that requires some office time later. It can be a tie-breaker when considering two candidates who seem on paper to be equally qualified. "Hmm, he spent last summer working in an office, while so-and-so was tending bar."

He decided to relieve his stress by rearranging our living room furniture Saturday
Rule number one of relieving stress - Don't move heavy stuff. Rule number two - Don't try to drink it away, and while I'm at it, Rule number three - Use a trampoline!
You sound great. I hope H's stress levels are reduced. Summer seems to breeze right by these days. Not long before the kids are back to school.
Does H have any schedule set in his mind for how long he'll stick it out with the start up?
Thanks,
Joe
